When it comes to the type of nutso holiday decorations we’re in awe of this month on Grub Street, Little Italy pretty much takes the cheesecake. From the Christmas tree floating above Ferrara to the Macy’s-balloon-like Santa perched on a balcony above Mulberry Street — where to even begin? How about with the surreally anthropomorphic stuff, starting with the robot Claus at Florio’s Grill & Cigar Bar, which has also added nutcrackers to its usual assortment of cigar-store Indians and signed photos of Bush and his generals. That’s right, this thing sometimes moves and talks. Also, check out the creepy cyborg Santa that’s “Ho ho ho”-ing and swaying to “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” outside of Pomodoro.
